| Summary: | Abstract Certolizumab pegol (CZP; CIMZIA™) is the only Fc‐free tumor necrosis factor inhibitor with data from a clinical study demonstrating no to minimal placental transfer. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of certolizumab pegol during pregnancy and postpartum in women with chronic inflammatory diseases were assessed using a population PK model based on data from the CHERISH study (NCT04163016), a longitudinal, prospective, open‐label PK phase IB study. Model development was performed in NONMEM using a frequentist prior approach, with prior information based on a population PK model for certolizumab pegol in non‐pregnant adult patients (NCT04740814). A one‐compartment model with first‐order absorption (Ka = 0.236 1/day) and linear elimination (CL/F = 0.416 L/day) from the central compartment (V/F = 7.86 L) best described certolizumab pegol PK in the CHERISH study. The structural model parameters were estimated with good precision (RSE < 25%). Baseline BW was included as a covariate on CL/F and V/F. Pregnancy trimester and time‐varying log‐transformed anti‐drug antibody (ADA) titer were identified as the only significant covariates for CL/F with a comparable influence on CL/F. Individuals with higher ADA titer (75th percentile) during pregnancy exhibited CL/F up to 1.43‐fold higher relative to individuals postpartum that showed median levels of ADA titer. However, the confidence interval for the combined effect of pregnancy stage and ADA titer effects on CL/F overlapped with the CL/F range of the typical individual postpartum. In addition, simulations showed a large overlap in certolizumab pegol concentrations between pregnant and non‐pregnant adults. The findings of this population PK analysis support the maintenance of established certolizumab pegol dosing regimens throughout pregnancy. |
